Best-Selling Author Susan Sly continues leadership development series by exploring the “leaders are born” argument in response to the question as to leaders born or made. She seeks to answer whether leaders are born with these qualities or whether they are developed over time.
Scottsdale, AZ — March 23, 2016 — Best-selling author, speaker, and entrepreneur Susan Sly recently published a new article, “Leadership Development: Are Leaders Born or Made? Part 2 – The ‘Leaders Are Born’ Argument.” In this part of the series, Susan shares the ‘leaders are born’ group probably has the greatest number of supporters. Specifically, the greatest consensus appears to be that some people are born leaders – with leadership traits and leadership characteristics – and seem to know how to be a leader naturally—without even trying.
She further elaborates that this group believes, “Even for those who seem to learn leadership skills and develop into being a leader, the ‘born’ argument states they were indeed also born with leadership traits, it just took those traits longer – or more effort – to surface and be shaped.”
Susan then goes on to say that this side contends that without being born with those leadership traits, the odds of developing into a leader are slim, therefore enforcing that – to some degree – leaders are born first, before they can be made.
